The symptom of failure cases has been reported why they are wind down Ralliart division. A source from press has been reported that the Ralliart’s failure is a symptom of the Japanese tuner market, which has been in decline for several years. The company’s racing suspension parts and turbo charging kits proved to be too expensive when exported to markets such as the United States. Unfavorable exchange rates contributed to the parts’ competitive problems. Another sources also reported that their company become worse affect from economic crash of 2008.

We found fresh spy shots of the Porsche 911 Cabriolet which is expected for 2012.

The 2012 Porsche 911, and its Cabriolet variant, is known internally as ‘project 991′ and will feature a few radical departures from the 911’s long-running classical styling.

Clear differences between the new model and the current 997 are the more upright headlights, slightly longer body, and the side mirrors now positioned at the side of the doors and not at the window.

Other new features for the car will include extensive use of lightweight carbon-fiber materials and active aerodynamics–su Read More...

Patent images for the rumored Porsche Panamera Convertible have been leaked. A must see!

Recent comments from Porsche insiders indicated the car had been cancelled, but renewals and fresh patent applications in the United States indicate otherwise.

The new car has a practical four-door body that, without a traditional B-pillar, has required substantial stiffening to the Panamera’s floorpan and bulkheads to ensure sufficient structural rigidity and integrity.

Nice road test report here of the Audi TT RS.

With 250kW of power, 450Nm of torque and a claimed 0-100km/h time of 4.6 seconds, the RS’s 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo looks the goods on paper.

On the road it’s a gem, delivering a heroic surge of power and a muscularity across the full rev range, as well as a five-cylinder scream. It’s furiously quick and hugely responsive yet as flexible and unfussed as you could wish for in typical urban and highway driving.

A design study called Audi RS7 shows some interesting elements, but is it the future of Audi?

Designed by noted designer Adriano Mudri, this concept study of the Audi RS7 combines an R8-inspired rear end with Lamborghini’s trademark scissor doors.

What’s more, similar to the side-plate on the Audi R8, the whole rear part of the Audi RS7, which contains the motorization, is a unique design feature that’s distinctive from its competitors. It’s aim is to make it easier and signalize the different engine configurations and compulsion varieties.

5.2 FSI quattro Spyder and Audi’s DTM driver Mattias Ekstroem. A must see!

In this film short produced by Audi, DTM driver Mattias Ekstrom first gets an education on the many features of the Audi R8 Spyder. He then throws the car in launch control and proceeds to hoon his way around a parking garage, likely the Audi Forum Ingolstadt underground parking garage. Enjoy plenty of tire squeal, drifting and even flame-spitting exhaust.

Crash test dummies are full-scale anthropomorphic test devices (ATD) that simulate the dimensions, weight proportions and articulation of the human body, and are usually instrumented to record data about the dynamic behavior of the ATD in simulated vehicle impacts. This data can include variables such as velocity of impact, crushing force, bending, folding, or torque of the body, and deceleration rates during a collision for use in crash tests.

As with the Prius, the FT-CH will have the potential to run on battery power alone – albeit for only a couple of miles and at a limited top speed of around 40mph. Even though the car is 22 inches shorter than the Prius, it loses only an inch in width, so the interior will be spacious and comfortable. Toyota has also ensured it’s crammed with technology, including a head-up display. Read More... ft-ch. hybrid      toyota. baby prius

As announced earlier Audi is showing another e-tron concept at the Geneva Motor Show, this time it's the Audi A1 e-tron concept. Our take: the future is bright for Audi with all these hot models in the pipe.

Audi is calling the A1 E-tron design study a "Mega City Vehicle," a bit of a deviation from the sports cars in the E-tron family. The A1 E-tron has an output of 102 horsepower and a range of more than 31 miles in city traffic, according to the automaker.

"When the battery's energy supply is exhausted, it is recharged by an exceptionally compact 'range extender' consisting of Read More...

Here are some live impressions of the Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept from the Geneva Motor Show.

At the heart of the Galibier is Bugatti's 8.0-liter W-16 engine lifted nearly intact from the Veyron sports car. Changes include a shift from four turbochargers to two-stage supercharging - a move that gives the sedan smoother acceleration and more low-down torque to better suit its use in a luxury sedan - as well as flex-fuel capability. Yep, you can run your $1.5 million Galibier on ethanol. All-wheel drive, ceramic disc brakes, and the extensive use of carbon fiber and aluminum all hint at Read More...

The Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, as its name implies, is a superlight version of the Gallardo LP560-4, with lots of carbon-fiber bits inside and out and a tad more power.

Great live photos here of the Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Concept from the Geneva Motor Show where it's already called "car of the show". Who can disagree after watching these photos? Pure eye candy!

The Porsche 918 Spyder Concept is even hotter in person than it is in photos. About the size of a Boxster, it's a little wider and a lot meaner. Underneath all that sharkness you get a 500-horsepower V8 in addition to 218 overall horsepower from the two axle-mounted electric motors. And that will get you to 60 in 3.2 lickety-split seconds as well along with the feelgood factor of 94 miles pe Read More...

Nice live impressions here of the next-generation VW Sharan from the Geneva Motor Show.

For a start both rear doors now slide (electrically if you pay for it), allowing easier access to rows two and three. The three seats in the middle row slide back and forth by up to 160mm, pivot forward by 20 degrees to allow easy access to the rear row, and both the second and third row of seats can fold flat into the floor.

On the outside VW’s design team has taken cues from the new Polo – inspiration would be the wrong word – and there’ll be a Seat version shown in autumn 2010. It’s big an Read More...

The new VW Touareg is showing its sleek looks at the Geneva Motor Show. Have a look!

This one comes standard with a Torsen limited-slip differential, and then you can order a Terrain Tech Pack that adds the differentials and serious off-road capability that once came standard. That takes fuel economy upward, an boost also helped by the increased curve and lower Cd. VW sold 500,000 units of the previous-gen Touareg and it should do even better with this one.

Audi will launch the Audi A8 Hybrid and the Audi Q5 Hybrid in 2011.

Audi showed off the A8 hybrid in Geneva, calling it an "engineering study." It is powered by Audi's 2.0-liter TFSI engine with 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, paired with an electric motor for a combined 245 hp and 354 lb-ft. Average fuel consumption is 38 mpg, the German automaker said. The A8 hybrid has an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission.

"A U.S. confirmation or launch date is still TBD, but on a worldwide basis, it should be available by the end of calendar year 2011," said Read More...

We can't get enough of the new Audi RS5 and our website statistics show you can't either, so here are more live impressions from the Geneva Motor Show. A must see!

Audi has listed the base price of the car only in Euros (77,000), but we'll hold on to hope until Audi officially states the car won't be sold across the pond.

Why do we want the RS5 in the U.S. so bad? For starters, it's got a 450 horsepower version of Audi's tried and true 4.2-liter V8 paired to the legendary Quattro AWD. Combine that with perhaps the best looking coupe designs on the market toda Read More...

The lower air intake grilles are polished to a brilliant shine. The wheel rims are the same as those on the Bugatti Pur Sang, with Ebony Pearl inner sides and a Diamond Cut face.

Bentley has finally revealed the full specs of the Bentley Mulsanne.

Pulling all of that luxury will be a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8 producing 505 horsepower at 4200 rpm and a stump-pulling 752 pound-feet of torque at a very low 1750 rpm. There's an 8-speed ZF automatic doing delivery work, helping the Mulsanne glide from 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds, to 100 in 11.6, and on to a top end of 184 miles per hour. Fuel economy is seldom a concern for owners of such vehicles, but the big Bentley has been rated at 16.7 mpg on the combined EU cycle.

A press release for the Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Concept is fueling rumors that the car might show up in the Gran Turismo game.

While the car on the show floor has a blacked-out instrument display, Porsche's interior picture shows a fully operational cockpit. This includes an intriguing sat-nav display on the centre console, which shows a track map and picture of the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife, a track Porsche claims that the new 918 Spyder will be able to lap in less than 7min 30 seconds.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that Porsche has used the tra Read More...

We found some live impressions of the VW Amarok from the Geneva Motor Show.

Double cab versions will be delivered to customers first, with single cab variants arriving in 2011. They can choose between two- and all-wheel drive editions, with the latter capable of being spec'd with a Torsen limited-slip differential. The LSD allows for 40% power to be delivered to the front wheels, 60% to the rear.

Speaking of power, VW offers two of its 2.0L TDi engines making either 158 hp/295 lb-ft or 120 hp/251 lb-ft. Both get mated to a six-speed manual transmission and ca Read More...

Great floor impressions here of the VW Polo GTI from the Geneva Motor Show.

Drawing a clearer line to the GTI's of yore than it's biggie-sized brother, the Polo GTI embodies everything we loved about the Mk1: a small footprint, supreme usability and a miserly mill packing a potent punch. In this newest iteration, said punch is provided by a 178-horsepower turbo- and supercharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder putting out an incredibly healthy 184 pound-feet of torque. Those figures aren't too far away from what our beloved GTI produces, and the Polo comes in a few hundred pounds lig Read More...

Some more nice live impressions of the Audi A8 Hybrid from the Geneva Motor Show.

Based on the 2011 Audi A8 (pictured), which itself just broke cover a few months ago, the A8 Hybrid is expected to be a full two-mode hybrid capable of moving itself under engine power, electrical power or a combination of both. While Audi plans to bypass "mild" hybrids that can't move under electrical power, the A8 Hybrid is not expected to be a range-extened electric vehicle, one that uses its gasoline engine only as a generator. The A8 Hybrid's engine will most likely still be connected to th Read More...

Audi has released an awesome looking competition kit for the new Audi A1.

The competition kits for the A1 awaken memories of legendary moments in Audi motorsporting history, such as Walter Rohrl's "storming" of Pikes Peak in 1987 in the Audi S1 Sport quattro. The two accessories packages for the interior and exterior are perfectly matched to each other. Their colour scheme pays subtle homage to the successes of the 1980's by using the same colours used then by Audi motorsport.

Bugatti is showing a cutaway model of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport at the Geneva Motor Show.

The car is divided into its two main sub-assemblies, showing off its carbon fiber structure and internal components.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about the car is how Bugatti managed to cram so much into so small a space. The Grand Sport is a relatively small car, and fitting an 8.0-liter W16 engine complete with four turbochargers into the space behind the rear seats was no small feat. The display shows just how Bugatti did it, though, and we walked away even more amazed at what Read More...

VW is working on a hybrid version of the VW Golf and VW Jetta for 2013.

Ulrich Hackenberg, VW's R and D chief, says the 2013 models could be offered with a choice of battery size, and therefore of zero-emission range, to suit different customer needs. The bigger-batteried versions would also be more economical, but cost more to buy.

Hackenberg says a final decision has yet to be made, but the question of offering a battery choice is currently under consideration. He also revealed that the plug-in Jetta will have a greater electric-only range than the Golf because it has a larger Read More...
